Abstract

Purpose: Data collected from a single Canadian center have shown an association between pre-transplant hemoglobin (Hgb) levels and survival (Xenocostas, Transfusion 2002). To confirm this hypothesis, we undertook an observational cohort study from 3 additional Canadian BMT Programs analyzing the impact of red blood cell (RBC) transfusions following allogeneic bone marrow transplant (BMT) and their association with important risk factors. Methods: Data from 728 allo BMT recipients transplanted between 01/1995 and 03/2000 were analyzed.
